I think I just killed the microwave

I wrapped a potato up in suran wrap and popped it in there for ten minutes. It just suddenly stopped working with a couple minutes left. It's not working at all now. I reset the GFCIs and still nothing. Boo, hiss!

Could be a fuse. They can be replaced. I've done it!

Saran wrap is fine aluminum foil is not. And by fuse, I mean one in the microwave.

That totally sucks. DS3 & my niece set a bag of Lays potato chips on fire in my microwave simply by turning the damn thing on. Apparently the grease from the chips + the foil bag = major fire.

My microwave did this about 3 years ago. We unplugged it and after about a day, it just started working again. We were just about to replace it and decided to try it one last time and it's been fine ever since.
